William Shakespeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDBBE

Not if men's tongues and angels' all in oneA
Spake might the word be said that might speak TheeB
Streams winds woods flowers fields mountains yea the seaB
What power is in them all to praise the sunA
His praise is this he can be praised of noneA
Man woman child praise God for him but heB
Exults not to be worshipped but to beB
He is and being beholds his work well doneA
All joy all glory all sorrow all strength all mirthC
Are his without him day were night on earthC
Time knows not his from time's own periodD
All lutes all harps all viols all flutes all lyresB
Fall dumb before him ere one string suspiresB
All stars are angels but the sun is GodE

Algernon Charles Swinburne
